About the worthless UberEats voucher? Nah.
About the worthless kernel-level code and non-existent QA costing customers serious hours of labor? Now we’re talking. Where do I sign?
Absolutely love the name.
You’re also likely to repeatedly trip whatever breaker that outlet is connected to unless it’s a big one like you’d have for a central AC unit, but then you’d likely also know enough to have a proper transfer switch.
Second the NUC suggestion. I’ve got a 10th gen i7 model that I use primarily as a media server. It draws <6W at idle so it runs 24/7 and barely makes a blip on my electricity bill. It’s been rebooted exactly twice so far this year after switching from Windows 10 to Arch (BTW), once after a planned upgrade and a second time unexpectedly when my cheap UPS’s battery died. It works fine with the two docking stations I’ve tried and two different USB-C displays. I think my model might need a small adapter to support a third monitor but I’m not sure that’s the case with newer generations, though you may have to look beyond the Intel-branded hardware if you do want a more recent edition since they sold the brand to ASUS.
Bought one used several years ago for $75 and it’s still on the used starter toner.
It’s brutal… if you think like a human.
IDK man, all the way? I don’t think I’m good enough to have actual impostor syndrome like real developers.

Right, as in something other than the result of careful research and development. She’s just older and doesn’t have the slightest idea how anything works, habitually trying three different appliances to warm up her coffee when the power goes out before realizing they all need electricity, so it’s all just magic and mystery.
Then again, it’s people like us who say things like “computers are just rocks we tricked into thinking by putting lightning inside of them” so I don’t not get it.
My boss called me immediately to tell me about that one because he knew I’d laugh my ass off.
Everyone? You sure? Just off the top of my head, I’ve witnessed:
A fellow millennial recently calling his tower “the modem”.
A user who thinks a computer experiencing a “crash”, as in the unexpected termination of a process, means everything on the hard drive was just lost.
A teacher who swears their fiber optic internet connection always slows down when it rains.
A family member who thinks cell phones are actually miraculous.
An IT director who decided to save time while rewiring an entire school district’s network by forgoing patch panels completely, terminating hundreds of CAT-6 cables (which he first laid directly on top of the drop ceiling grid) with RJ45 connectors plugged straight into switches, labeling each with masking tape.
A police officer who called his chief and supervisor over to his desk in order to explain that he discovered a massive vulnerability on the agency website, demonstrating the risk by showing them how he was able to change some text with the browser’s element inspector.
A software developer who only used Internet Explorer (years ago when Chrome was still arguably the best option) because “Google tracks you”. He was later sentenced to decades in federal prison for organizing the production of CSAM on the surface web, not the darknet, mostly over Craigslist.
That’s a good idea. Yeah, the trick I discovered in getting them off the mounting bracket without the chrome plating peeling is to grab each end of the bracket with vice grips and/or pliers (after you unscrew it from the drive) and just bend it down and away from the magnet. They usually come off in one piece that way, too.
Thought it was just me. Used to have at least twice this many in my old office:
Fuck that guy.
Which pins go to the motherboard other than power/reset? Is that USB connector just passing through the keyboard and mouse signals?
Maybe, but power consumption can get steep with some server boards/chassis which might tip the balance over time.

Cellular signals have a hard time penetrating dense concrete buildings and underground structures. That’s why doctors still use them, even in the States.
